Five years after kicking off its Kickstarter campaign, the highly anticipated System Shock remake is finally approaching launch, with developer Nightdive Studios confirming a US 'late summer 2021' release window in the game's latest official teaser.

To make the wait a little less painful, however, Nightdive Studios has released a brand-new demo of the game that you can download right now from the Epic Games Store and Steam.

A demo of the game had previously been made available for 48 hours during the 2019 Game Awards, however, the new demo is said to offer a "feature-complete version of the game," according to comments made by Nightdive Studios CEO Stephen Kick to PC Gamer.
